Westwood Takes Us Into The Evening

Vivienne Westwood has teamed up with Matchesfashion.com  to create a capsule collection of red carpet dresses, celebrating the designer's long-lasting fashion influence. Each of the four styles incorporates key signatures of the label, both past and present, from the squiggle print that appeared in the autumn/winter 1981 Pirate collection to the brand's celebrated hourglass silhouettes.

"The squiggle print is iconic and translates brilliantly to Vivienne Westwood's signature red carpet gowns - effortlessly glamorous with a subversive twist," said Matches head of fashion Natalie Kingham. "They offer our clients something timeless and extremely special."

Modelled by Daisy Lowe, the range - which features a mix of cocktail dresses and floor-length gowns - comes in a colour palette of pink, monochrome and dusky caramel. Prices range from £2,125 to £2,970.

"We are pleased to partner with Matchesfashion.com for this collection, as they have chosen some beautiful existing styles from our archive and allowed us to introduce new silhouettes to their customers," a statement from the Westwood design team said. "The collection is really classic and elegant, as it incorporates the best of Vivienne's designs then and now."
